Hermione\'s Beast

A/N Again, just a few corrections and changes nothing big, although this one did get the bigger of the makeovers.


“Fine Ginny, I’ll go by myself. You and Harry just stay here and have fun. I know, I know, you want a baby before Harry has to leave again, I know. Just make sure none of the baby making happens on MY bed again. That’s all I ask.”

“Hermione I love you!” Ginny said, wrapping her arms around Hermione “Make sure you bring your phone. I want to be able to call you.”

“You WILL NOT call me while you’re baby making again!! Not to mention we’re in the middle of no where Montana. Remember? There is no signal. I’ve been here many times. Mother has owned this place longer than I’ve been alive. I know my way around here. I won’t get lost. Just don’t wander off to baby make in the woods. People get lost out there.*sigh* I’ll be back around four. Please, please, be decent when I get home, Please Ginny.” Herminie says stepping out the door.

“Oh my gosh, if I have to hear them doing it in the next room one more time I will scream.” Hermione muttered to herself as she absentmindedly strode toward the timberline.

“This whole trip was supposed to be us reconnecting. It’s been ten years since I’ve seen either of them and neither of them have even talked to me a longer than thirty minutes. Hell, they haven’t stopped doing it for longer than thirty minutes.” She said stomping through the woods,” Poor Ron, I’d hate to be their roommate. He has to deal with this all the time. Sometimes I think the only reason they came with me is so they can be away from Ron while they do it. They just traded me for Ron. Damn it!” She said as she realized she might have wandered off the trail.


“I can smell her.” Draco says.

“Not again. I have told you. The house has been deserted. She chose to take the house in Florida next to her parents.” Crabbe said.

“You know, I think I liked it better when you were dumb. Maybe we should limit your running again.” Draco said grumbling.

“No, that was hell on earth. I couldn’t even change. I think your dad thought it was funny when I came home and could barely spell my own name.” Crabbe said as he shuttered.

“You know, I think I did too. You have no idea how funny it was to see you trapped in the bathroom because you couldn’t remember how to unlock the door. That made a great Christmas break!” Draco replied still sniffing the air but now with a small smirk.

“Ummm, Crabbe, I think I smell her now.” Said Goyle.

“Fuck! Get him away from here.” Crabbe says shifting effortlessly to his second body.

Draco was just one step ahead already running swiftly through the undergrowth toward Hermione.

*****************************************************************************************


“Mother trucking friends can’t even go walking with me…” Hermione mumbles

“She doesn’t even realize we’re here. There is no way she could deal with the family.” Crabbe said.

“She will change. I don’t think you two understand, she is MINE. I must have
her.” Draco said never taking his eyes off his mate.

“Do you realize what you’re asking us to do? I’m not sure if you remember this but kidnapping is a felony. Not to mention her family would NEVER give up the search for their little girl oh, and on top of that your dad would castrate me! I’m pretty sure I’m going to skip on kidnapping Granger.” Said Crabbe turning to leave

“She is mine!” he said

“Shhh, we know. We understand the feeling. We were the ones who helped you through Hogwarts remember? Oh man Goyle, remember when we had to drag him from the Slytherin table all the way to the shower because the girl hadn’t done up her robes and was wearing that blue shirt that showed off her cleavage so well. I could have swore he was going to change in the shower and attack us when we turned on the cold water. I don’t think I’ve even heard your father cuss like that!” Crabbe said smiling at Goyle. “We know the bond bud. Having said that, we still can’t take her. We don’t even know if she’d make it through the change and getting into the pack is anything but easy. I don’t want to have to deal with your dad for nothing. How about we just go home and grab a stake and come back in a week and you can break back into the cabin and sniff her sheets.”

“She will be fine. She can make it though. She has to. Other girls have made it though change. None of them were as strong as Hermione. She will make it though. She will!” Draco said slowly walking towards her shifting back into his human skin.
“Can his dad really keep him from his mate? I mean really, that’s bad. He could die. He doesn’t want her is because she’s mudblood.” Said Goyle.

“What? You know what, maybe you should just wait to talk for a few weeks after you’ve come back into your senses. Man, I can’t believe Lusius did this to you. Another reason I think Draco should—“

“AHH”

“Shit, I guess there’s no problem with taking her now. Now, we’re just cleaning up his son’s mess.” Crabbe said pushing through the undergrowth and towards Draco and Hermione.

“Did you have to hit her so hard? The poor girl is going to have a bad head boo-boo when she wake up.” Goyle said petting her hair.

“She’s mine!” Draco growled.

Goyle dropped her immediately and Draco caught her as she tumbled from the big man’s hands.

“Let’s get going before she wakes up.” Crabbe said looking down the path the came from, “Damnit Draco, did you have to do it here? Now we have to carry her for at least ten miles.”

“It’s not like you’re the one carrying her” Draco yelled as Crabbe switch into his furry body and ran ahead.

“I help. Crabbe just hate your dad real bad and now he gonna have to talk to him.” Goyle said reaching out to pet her again.

“NO!” was all Draco said as he took off at a run.

They caught up with Crabbe soon.

“Your dad and a few others have been here. I think they’ve been following us.” Crabbe said shifting back into his human skin.

“My dad wouldn’t care enough to follow me.” Draco said walking away.

“Oof” Crabbe said as he landed on the rocky ground under Lucius.

“I would when my son is heading out to a mudblood’s house.” Said Lucius, sitting on Crabbe, slowly shifting back to human form.

“She is mine now.” Draco said looking down at her unconscious face.

“Now, from what I saw son, she never saw you change. The only thing she saw was you barreling at her like a moron. In my mind that means we can still get rid of her. This little screw up can be fixed. I’m sure you’re glad to hear that one.” Lucius said with a smile.

“You don’t understand. I have to have her. She is mine.” Draco said with a wimper.

“You’ll get over her son. Now, drop here and we will watch the little mudblood to make sure another wolf doesn’t come after her. After she comes to we’ll have Crabbe follow her home and then she can make what she want of her little brush with the pack.” Lucius said happily.

“Do you not remember when you were first with mom? I have to keep her.” Draco said sitting down and petting her.

“Son, perhaps you forgot, your mother and I weren’t ever in love. You were a product of necessity. Her father needed a strong wolf to follow in his footsteps and I was the best choice. We were a political thing.” He said slowly getting off Crabbe

“But you had to love her. You couldn’t have had me if you weren’t in love.” Draco said looking at his father for the first time.

“Only one of us had to be in love for that little evolutionary trip to work. She got over it quickly though.” He said walking toward the woods.

“I’m not getting rid of her. I need her father.” Draco said standing and picking Hermione up.

“I’m not going to make it easy for her or you my son. She could die even with the pack’s consent, and we both know the ramifications she will have to deal with being an outsider. Do you really want to gamble with her life?” he said with a chuckle and walked away.

Draco just ran his fingers through her hair and took off behind his father.

About two hours later Goyle said, “I think she awake Draco.”

“Thanks Goyle.” Draco said with a smile.

“We’re getting close. I think we can get her into you mom’s wing before your dad comes to his senses and comes for her or she wakes up.” Crabbe said


*****************************************************************************************


“If I just stay still surely they will put me down and I can get away. What in the world did I do to deserve this? Is it because I wouldn’t let them baby make in my bed? Damnit god, that’s just gross. I’m sorry but that’s a line. I don’t even get to do that in my bed, why should they?!” Hermione thought while Draco walked her up some stairs.

“Make sure she stays quiet. We don’t want Lucius to remember she’s here.” Crabbe said

“She’ll be quiet. She’s awake and scared to death. Can we just get her into my mother’s room before she has a heart attack?” Draco said

“I got the door.” Goyle said proudly throwing open the door.

“Hello Goyle, aren’t you being helpful?” Narcissa said smiling at Goyle.

“Draco brought the girl. He thoughted you’d help her.” Goyle said sitting and petting Narcissa’s dog.

“Is that right? My little boy did bring me a girl didn’t he? Draco what is this?” she said.

“Meet my mate mother, Hermione Granger.” Draco said laying her down next to Goyle.

“Now, Draco, don’t speak like that. You do know she’s awake and we can’t risk her hearing about you know what. You know if she hears about that your father will never let her go home.” Narcissa said

“Speaking of helping someone, Narcissa, when will Goyle be back to normal?” Crabbe said. “ I miss the guy being able to speak in complete sentences.”

“He’ll be fine as long as he keeps changing when the urge comes upon him. Oh Darn, you don’t think that’s too telling? Are we going to have to keep her now? Surely that will mean nothing to the poor girl.” Narcissa said fretting.

“Hermione, I know you’re awake Hermione.” Hermione didn’t move, “Fine then, just listen. I am a werewolf. So is everyone else here, and you are my mate. Now she can’t leave mother. She is mine. I won’t let her le—“

Draco is interrupted by Hermione’s unchecked laughter.

“What is wrong with her?” Crabbe asked

“Luna…hee hee hee ….was right! That…hee hee..has to be a first for the poor girl!” she said, then she dissolved back into laughter.

Draco just smiled.

“She was. That’s why she’s here with us.” Crabbe said smiling too.

That stopped Hermione’s laughter quick.

“Where is she?!” Hermione asked as she jumped up.

“She’s fine sweetheart. Just sit back down and calm down. Now that my son has messed things up a bit I have to think and I can’t if you keep bursting in at the wrong times.” Narcissa said gently pushing Hermione back down onto the bed

“I’ve told you mother she isn’t going anywhere.” Draco growled stepping closer.

“I mean no offence in this son, but Malfoy men are not the best mates. You are cold, calculating, and uncaring. I’m not letting this girl waste her life on you. Now, go sit over there while I fix your mess.” She said not even looking at her son.

“SHE IS MINE!” Draco growled as he started to slowly switch.

“I’m sure she is sweetheart. That does not change the fact that you are a Malfoy. Now, Hermione, was it? Would you sign a contract with my husband that under penalty of—“

“I WILL NOT LOSE MY MATE!” Draco screamed as he finished his change.

“Now my son, don’t be rash.” Narcissa said backing away from Hermione slowly.

“You will not keep her from me.” He growled.

“Son, just calm down, switch back, and we’ll talk about keeping your little mate.” She said.

“Narcissa, I think maybe you should stop talking.” Crabbe said watching the sliver wolf in the room.

Narcissa just nodded her head and slowly backed toward the bed.

“Hermione, I think maybe you should say something to him.” Crabbe said never
taking his eyes off the irate wolf.

“I—but he—No, there is no such thing as werewolves.” Hermione said in a confident huff.

At this point Draco began making an odd noise and started his transition back into human form.

“I think that did the trick.” Crabbe said helping the hysterical Draco off the floor.

“Well, I think I got what I was after. Welcome to the family Hermione.” Narcissa said running over to Hermione and hugging her.

“What do you mean mother! Only a few seconds ago you said I didn’t deserve anyone because of my last name and now you are accepting my poor girl with open arms. If you don’t mind, WHAT THE HELL!?” Draco yelled trying to breathe deep but was having trouble with that because of Hermione’s enticing sent that seemed to catch hold in his lungs and muddle his mind.

“I used to think you a smart boy Draco.” Narcissa said with a smile, “I only needed proof you truly loved this poor girl before I was going to curse her with your presence. I did not want a repeat performance of my marriage.”

“How very kind of you to risk our lives at the hands of your very own son Narcissa. Do remind me to skip your name on my Christmas list.” Crabbe said imitating her English accent and high pitched voice.

“We all know how very funny you are Crabbe. Although I do think I preferred you a dumb ass to a smart ass my boy.” She said with a smile.

“Now mother, could you please help me with the evil one. He doesn’t want me to keep her.” Draco said.

“Draco becoming big boy.” Goyle said throwing the poor dog he had been petting up in the air.

“That is quite right my dear. Draco is becoming a big boy. What a smashing idea.” Narcissa said.

“Umm, I don’t follow.” Said Crabbe.

“You see, Draco has found his mate. Seeing as he is the Slytherin Prince he will soon need to fight his father for the pack to become, for lack of a better phrase, the Slytherin King. If he does so now he will be able to decide on whether or not Hermione stays with us. Such a good boy Goyle is. He must be coming along faster than I thought. Here you are, Goyle, a cookie for such a smart boy.” Narcissa said handing Goyle a cookie from her tin.

“I swear those cookies are laced with heroine. I still get a craving for them late at night.” Crabbe said visibly drooling.

“It’s possible. She makes them herself you know.” Draco said smiling at his obsessed friend.

“I’m not sure I care.” Crabbe said lunging for the tin.

“These are not for you. You did not deserve them now back away.” Narcissa said clutching them to her breast.

“What did Goyle do to deserve his?” Crabbe asked clearly pissy.

“He overcame a great mental hurdle and devised a very dastardly plan to save my son’s only love.” She said defiantly

“I mean other than that.” Crabbe mumbled.

“You may have one though Hermione. You deserve one, being carted up here by my ruffian of a boy.” She said handing Hermione a cookie.

Hermione just held it up in the air and Crabbe snatched it.

“Good choice my dear. You just made a life long friend.” Narcissa said with a smirk as Crabbe devoured his cookie.

“I think my son deserves some time alone with his mate. Boys, come with me.” She said shuffling the rest outside.
